Togoland The colony of Togoland was established at the end of the period of European colonization in Africa, often called the "Scramble for Africa". For Togoland, two separate German protectorates were established in 1884. In 1899, Germany and Great Britain exchanged their colonies in the Samoan Islands for the Northern Solomon Islands and a greater role in controlling Tonga.

  • An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade
    High Trade Costs and Their Consequences: An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade Obie Porteous Online Appendix A1 Data: Market Selection Table A1, which begins on the next page, includes two lists of markets by country and town population (in thousands). Population data is from the most recent available national censuses as reported in various online databases (e.g. citypopulation.de) and should be taken as approximate as census years vary by country. The \ideal" list starts with the 178 towns with a population of at least 100,000 that are at least 200 kilometers apart1 (plain font). When two towns of over 100,000 population are closer than 200 kilometers the larger is chosen. An additional 85 towns (italics) on this list are either located at important transport hubs (road junctions or ports) or are additional major towns in countries with high initial population-to-market ratios. The \actual" list is my final network of 230 markets. This includes 218 of the 263 markets on my ideal list for which I was able to obtain price data (plain font) as well as an additional 12 markets with price data which are located close to 12 of the missing markets and which I therefore use as substitutes (italics). Table A2, which follows table A1, shows the population-to-market ratios by country for the two sets of markets. In the ideal list of markets, only Nigeria and Ethiopia | the two most populous countries | have population-to-market ratios above 4 million. In the final network, the three countries with more than two missing markets (Angola, Cameroon, and Uganda) are the only ones besides Nigeria and Ethiopia that are significantly above this threshold.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This is a study of the processes through which the former Togoland Trust Territory has come to constitute an integral part of modern Ghana. As the section of the country that was most recently appended, the territory has often seemed the most likely candidate for the eruption of separatist tendencies. The comparative weakness of such tendencies, in spite of economic crisis and governmental failure, deserves closer examination. This study adopts an approach which is local in focus (the area being Likpe), but one which endeavours at every stage to link the analysis to unfolding processes at the Regional and national levels.

  • French and British Colonial Legacies in Education: a Natural Experiment in Cameroon
    French and British Colonial Legacies in Education: A Natural Experiment in Cameroon Yannick Dupraz∗ 2015 most recent version: http://www.parisschoolofeconomics.eu/IMG/pdf/ jobmarket-paper-dupraz-pse.pdf Abstract. | Does colonial history matter for development? In Sub-Saharan Africa, economists have argued that the British colonial legacy was more growth-inducing than others, especially through its effect on education. This paper uses the division of German Kamerun between the British and the French after WWI as a natural experiment to identify the causal effect of colonizer identity on education. Using exhaustive geolocated census data, I estimate a border discontinuity for various cohorts over the 20th century: the British effect on education is positive for individuals of school age in the 1920s and 1930s; it quickly fades away in the late colonial period and eventually becomes negative, favoring the French side. In the most recent cohorts, I find no border discontinuity in primary education, but I do find a positive British effect in secondary school completion | likely explained by a higher rate of grade repetition in the francophone system. I also find a strong, positive British effect on the percentage of Christians for all cohorts. I argue that my results are best explained by supply factors: before WWII, the British colonial government provided incentives for missions to supply formal education and allowed local governments to open public schools, but the British effect was quickly smoothed away by an increase in French education investments in the late colonial period. Though the divergence in human capital did not persist, its effect on religion was highly persistent.

    PART VII CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TOGO The Project on Corridor Development for West Africa Growth Ring Master Plan Final Report Chapter 26 National Development Strategies for Togo 26.1 Exiting National Development Plans 26.1.1 Review of the “Strategy on Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion”- Stratégie de Croissance Accélérée et de Promotion de l’Emploi (SCAPE) 2013-2017 (1) Objectives of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The Strategy on Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion (SCAPE: Stratégie de Croissance Accélérée et de Promotion de l'Emploi) of Togo offers a development framework for the medium term to achieve the General Political Declaration of the government, and the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals, as well as the vision of the authorities to make Togo into an emerging country within 15 to 20 years, respectful of human rights and promoting the rule of law. As such, the Togolese Government considers that there are four major challenges in the medium term for the period 2013-2017 to ensure the take-off of the Togolese economy and move towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. These are the challenges of accelerating economic growth, employment and greater regional and international integration of the Togolese economy; the challenge of governance; the socio-demographic challenge; and the challenge of urban development, spatial planning and environmental protection. (2) Major Points of the SCAPE 2013-2017 The economic policy of the Government in the medium term for the period 2012-2016 focuses mainly on laying down and strengthening the foundations of the future emergence of Togo. For this, it moves towards establishing new priorities which are: • Acceleration of growth; • Employment and inclusion; • Strengthening Governance • Reduction of regional disparities and promoting grassroots development.
